This sounds more like something said at a seminary. I'm just a bit disappointed you didn't find a way to include Francis.

This is Francis going up a hanger on the back of a rock - He's got to be worth our pick 7 surely.

Can someone please photoshop a sherrin in there for me and I'll make it my new Avatar.

    We will be getting Parish at 3 and one of Wideman/Curnow at 7. Bookmark it.

    So who are you certain is the other player the Bombers will take, to allow us to get Weideman or Curnow, if GC don't spoil the party.

    One of Francis or Mathieson, Essendon simply don't get both Curnow & Wideman, one of them will fall to us at 7.

    I would not be surprised if they recruit Burton at 7? Who might be the next Jake Springer

    Have you seen him play live to suggest he is anything remotely close to stringer or just having a guess.

    Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!

    Are you not worried about Burtons preparation? Has he not played limited footy?

    I'll assume you mean Stringer, and I'll also assume you say that only because you've read comparisons, and you fail to realise that is predicated solely on them both suffering a badly broken leg pre-draft.

    When you look at that video you notice two things.

    1) He makes great decisions very quickly.

    2) He is sooooo clean with his hands. At at high speed. It's a really tough skill, but it buys you so much time.

    Based off that footage he also seems to have great vision and an ability to move the ball laterally (with precision) which would help open up the play and our forward line, something we sorely lack.

    Wasnt it more than a break He smashed the Tibia through the knee lucky to be walking

    A no for me

    I got a feeling we might pick Ryan Burton at 7.

    I agree for the big midfielder

    My worries are his injury and his return home factor as I recall

    Viney, Brayshaw, Tyson, Salem, Petracca, Parish.

    Just wanted to see what that looked like in black and white.

    Just wanted to see what this looked like bolded in a quote tag.

    Liking the Parish and McKay combination for picks 3 & 7. Mid/Fwd combo.

    In his mock draft Brett Anderson has us taking Curnow and Collins with Parish going to Essendon.

    Personally i'd be taking Parish and whoever is left of Wielderman, Curnow or Francis at 7

    but the idea of Wielderman at 3 and Collins at 7 is appealing the more i think about it.

    sets up a spine for the next 10 years of

    Collins

    Mcdonald

    Brayshaw

    Hogan

    Wielderman

    Looks pretty handy to me.

    The idea of a 'spine' is a bit outdated as a good centre is mitigated by the fact that there are so many mids now that go through there - the 'centre' position is used less and less.

    And more on your point - setting up your talls is second only to setting up your midfield.

    I say 'best available' but if there is a 'position' to shore up it is talent in the middle.

    Parish and Curnow.

    Another exciting quinella in the league of Petracca and Brayshaw. And Hogan and Viney.

    They're building a side here.

    We have all the tall backs we need right now. I can see us using one pick on a tall forward, but the real need in our side right now is midfield class.

    I respect your opinion there, i think a quality partner for Hogan is certainly a priority, doesn't have to come from pick 3 or 7 though,

    i think Salem moves into the midfield next year so a good user off half back like young bonner might be handy, if Melksham doesn't make it i'm not sure what plan B is for that role.

    Plan B would probably be to just put Salem back there

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
